It most certainly did help! 
I have played a little with the Mlocal line as you sugested and
everything looks fine now!
Here it is:
	Mlocal, P=/bin/lmail, F=lsFMDmS, S=10, R=20, A=lmail -s $u

This is for Interactive Unix/386 SYSV3.2 with sendmail 2.2, and smail/rmail,
lmail/mail some of the files are BSD like some are SYS V.
I tried /bin/mail but it entered a recursive loop, /bin/rmail did'nt seem
to do anything. 

Henk.
